Recipe
Mix the sugar, cream of tartar or vinegar to make it
easier to obtain a creamy product. It is not essential.
Add chocolate, if used and liquids, stir until the sugar is
dissolved. Put on fire and make sure every crystal of sugar
is
washed down and dissolved. Do not stir after it starts to
boil
except perhaps an occasional gentle passing of the spoon
across
the bottom of the pan to prevent settling and burning. Cover
for first five minutes of boiling to steam off any
undissolved
sugar crystals.
Boil rapidly to soft ball stage (238 degrees) at which stage
a
few drops of the candy dropped into cold water can be
shaped
into a ball just firm enough to be easily picked up and
shaped.
Remove from fire. Drop in butter or peanut butter (do NOT
stir
in) when mixture has cooled to room temperature (70
degrees). Add the
flavoring and beat until the candy begins to crystallize.
Add
the nuts, marshmallows, orange peel, raisins or other
additional ingredients given in the recipe. Beat until the
candy turns lighter in color, loses it shine, and thickens.
Pour it out on
a buttered platter and cool.
